New to the Gay Community: The Unspoken Responsibility

As a member of a minority group we have to stick up together to get through everything. Minorities unite in the time of activism but then the connection is lost again until they have to unite to fight for the same cause. Like the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," but these connects shouldn't break down; "two heads are better than one," so why can't that apply here?

On March 24 and 25 the U.S. Supreme Court will act upon the D.O.M.A. (aka defense on marriage act), and Prop. 8 (aka propitiation 8). Most people don't know what these things represent or that they even ecicited. It was surprising to me that so many LGBT teens didn't know or even sorta understand what these things mean.
